Lesya Ukrainka

Villa Adriana

San Remo, August 2002

If you travel from the west (Genova, Arma di Taggia, Bussana) on the SS 1 entering San Remo,
then you'll have the chance to admire just before the first roundabout along the left
roadside a whole lot of beautiful villas. One of them belonged to Alfred Nobel,
the inventor of dynamite and donator of the Nobel prize. The park situated nearby
used to be part of the house, too.

Right next to Alfred Nobel's villa is the Villa Adriana. On a sign attached
to the garden wall it is said that the first Ukrainian national poet,
Lesya Ukrainka, lived in this place from 1901 to 1903.
